Building Community From Content Data
Digging into engagement metrics …
Digging even deeper into reach
*Using Facebook Insights
1. Fan demographics do not equal participation
demographics
2. Not all top content is equal
3. Demographics change frequently – stay on top
of them
4. Fans share certain types of content much more
than others, though they view many types
What we learned
1. More content aimed at older audience
2. More frequent posting
3. More photos and especially more video
4. Experimented with adding photo collages,
different types of photo albums, video
documentary vs. video footage of events
5. Popular FB content inspired corresponding blog
posts
6. Added photos to announcements and blog posts
How we used it to optimize content

ROE of user-generated content
Creators talked and proactively
shared information about the
brand the most. They also
influenced buying decisions the
most, and spent the most $.
Low-level engagement by itself did not produce
significant ROE

How they influenced purchases
“…brand pages that are very effective at
engaging advocates were 3x more engaging
across the board and would grow 13x more than
the typical active Facebook Page over a year.”

Content is for building community
Create connections between fans:
What content encourages this? Ask them to tag each other,
respond, and help each other.
Weaving your community
> Offer Connection, Trust, and Content
Bring them Inside
Be part of the planning
Control:
What would giving the content over to them mean? How might
you create trust?
